A T TORNEY Patented July 14, 1931 UNITED STATES WILLIAM WHALEY, or KNOXVILLE, 'rnmrn-ssnn ssovnnine MACHINE Application filed November 30,1929. Serial No. 410,811.

This invention relates particularly to machines for shoveling coal, loose rock, and similar material. For machines of this general type, reference is made to my. Letters Patent of the United Statea'No. 940,999, dated November 23,1909, and No. 1,879,428, dated May 24, 1921.

The object of this invention is to produce a machinewhich' embodies some of the features of both of the above-mentioned patents. One feature of the present machine includes the shovel and associated members formed and combined for continued rapid automatic action of the shovel to secure greatly increased capacity and in a manner preventing violent, disintegrating action of the shovel on the lading material. Another feature in the present machineis a lighter construction of the forward or jib part-of the machine.

This lightnessmakes feasible a wider reach 0f the shovel without destroying the stability of the machine and allows effecting the various movements of theshovel with greater facility. A V I Furthermore, the structure of the shovel mechanism and .thejib are adapted to manufacture at moderatecost.

The height of the forward end of the jib,

whereon the shovel is supported, may be adjusted through aconsiderable range to allow the shovel to reach the floor or bottomron which the lading material rests. The jib has a wide lateral range. The conveyor belt on the ib discharges the material upon the rear 85 or main. conveyor. That conveyor is located on the body of the machine and is intended to discharge into a minecar or elsewhere.

The-body of themachine is supported on wheels, preferably rail track wheels, which may be turned by power for forward or backward movementof the machine,.such.move ment being under. the control of the operator. This propelling .mechanism is' used for moving the machine from place to place, preferably on rail tracks,and also. for relatively short forward and backward movement, as maybe needed, during the operation of the machine.
